Super A rear main seal

Adrian Billheimer · Aug 7, 2013

I just did a search on this and didn't find much, can the rear main seal be replaced without splitting the tractor?

NO that seal is quite a piece of work. The flywheel will have to be removed then the seal thingy is bolted to the block and its in two pieces and uses felt for a seal they are two small pieces and are inserted into those two halves then bolted back up to the block. The felt has to be installed very careful. The small gaskets probably can only be purchased with an out of frame gasket set. If you are careful they could be used again with some thin sealer. Only time ive replaced is when i have had the crank reground but that is the procedure.

Thanks Gene, That was about what I figured, it'll have to wait until I have more time, I'll be getting the front axle back under it this weekend, then back to mowing the yard.
Fortunately it's not leaking bad.
